Damnation

Written by Charlie Peacock & Sam Ashworth

I have witnessed evil and every kind of uh oh and kept my mouth shut

No more, no more, no more

Is it true that God gives nothing to those who keep their arms locked?

True, it's true

If it is, then I'm wide open—Ooh, I open my mouth

I solicit from the complicit a shout and a change of heart

Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to start?

Who is the beast that crushes the weak? Tramples the poor like they were dirt?

Delights in bribes, and every kind of uh-oh, denying justice to the needy, the hurt?

Give me a name, give me an address

Ping me, will you ping me with a GPS location

It's the whole damnnation! It's the whole damnnation!

Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to start?

Make the world you believe in, make the world you wanna see

Put a little love in the mix, we've got a lot to fix

The time has come, the time has come, the time has come

Go, to Washington, DC and sin

Go to 16th and H Streets and sin even more

And bring your photo ops to me every morning

Your dollar in a bucket every third day

Or you could hate what is evil, and love what is good

Be the minstrel who sings, knows right from wrong

Until you find that melody, remove from me

Until you find that melody, remove from me the noise of your songs

Time to rustle up more than a whisper

Sure were on the brink, the edge of demise

If I had to choose one thing to change though

I'd recommend we begin with the deadly ubiquity of lies
